Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

The roll-top desk emerged in the late nineteenth century as an evolution of the pedestal desk, incorporating a flexible wooden tambour shutter that pulled down over the writing area to secure documents quickly without needing to clear the workspace.

These desks were predominantly crafted from hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and mahogany, with internal tambour slats glued onto a canvas backing and fitted with cast brass hardware.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass handles, smooth operation of the tambour mechanism along carved side tracks, and natural wood oxidation on untreated reverse surfaces.

Position the desk as a focal point within a home office or library, balancing its substantial visual weight with structured leather seating, task lighting, and minimal tabletop accessories.

Apply a natural beeswax polish twice yearly along the wood grain to preserve the finish, avoid placing the desk near direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and ensure the tambour track remains clean and free of debris.
